You better do the right thing and knok that damn wall down and open up your garage. That would have been my first task.

Congrats. House mods are always exciting.

I have a couple of suggestions. I'd possibly cover the brick fireplace with some type of earthy looking granite or marble tile. Mount the televison above the mantel and maybe even re-stain the built-ins. Also, I'd suggest replacing the cabinet ***** and hinges. They appear to be gold or brass colored.

the tv is going above the mantle, as soon as i get around to buying a wall mount. or re build the mantle to support and is big enuff for the tv....


im not to sure about the fire place yet, i seen at lowes they have this faux rock crap. that i was thinking about plastering to the brick...i dont know yet...lol


and yesterday i started to stain the cabinets, a dark mahagoney. i will prob. go back with some sort of a more "rustic" looking hardware.


my plans are to finish out the living room, then take care of the back yard in time for summer and partys by the pool



well, i gotta get back to staining.....
